The Golden Hurricast

After two consecutive games against the #11 team in the country, Tulsa welcomes the #8 Cincinnati Bearcats to town for the Hurricane's Homecoming game on Saturday. It's a game with monumental consequences, especially following TU's victory over #11 UCF in Orlando a bit over a week ago. To preview the Bearcats, we welcome in Clayton Trutor from Cincinnati's SB Nation site Down the Drive. We talk wi...

Tulsa's upset of #11 UCF was their first win over a ranked team on the road since 1976. The game looked ugly early, but the defense held tight long enough for the offense to wake up and storm back for the win. We spend a loooong time breaking down what went down when Tulsa took over the Bounce House.

With no Arkansas State game to recap due to the game's postponement, we bring you an extended preview for this week's game on the road against #11 UCF! We're joined by Roger Phipps (@KnightBengal) from the Knightline podcast and the Knightline at Knight radio show on WDBO 107.3 FM. Tulsa is currently a 21.5 point underdog to the Knights, and we talk to Roger about all kinds of things. We get into...

Football is back! Tulsa traveled to Stillwater to open up the season and took a lead into halftime against the #11 Cowboys, but misfires and miscues kept them from pulling off the upset. We break down the game that could've been, talk about the new interim Athletic Director, and bring back a guest for a new recurring segment.

Having already released the OSU preview episode, and with the actual game postponed until the 19th, there wasn't as much #sports related content to get to this week. We talk some more about TU-OSU, take a look at how other American teams performed in weeks 1 and 2, and discuss Tulsa's home attendance policy as it relates to COVID-19. However, after that, we bring in J.J. Cody for her own segment:...

The Tulsa – OSU season opener was pushed back to September 19th, and that news broke live while we were recording this episode on Monday night. HOWEVER, we cannot be stopped. We bring in Phillip Slavin from the Ten 12 Podcast (also writes for Cowboys Ride for Free and the LandGrant Gauntlet) to give us his take on OSU this year, how COVID has affected the team, the "triplets", the surprise team ou...

Just because the start of Tulsa's football season was delayed (again), does not mean that our football preview will be delayed! Ryan and Matt go in depth on offense, defense and more. Our interview with Phillip Slavin previewing the Oklahoma State game will be released later this week.

We're back for Season 3 and are honored to kick things off by bringing in Bruce Howard ! The 27-year Voice of the Golden Hurricane joins the show to talk about everything from the season that most surprised him to his "bible". Also: we bought a bunch of new recording equipment over the summer, and thus inevitably had some audio issues for this first episode.  We found the cause after recordin...

In what unfortunately is our final episode of the (regular) season, we face the reality of the end of not only Tulsa's basketball season, but sports across the country as well. We reminisce about the basketball season and hand out our highly sought after awards. Then we dive into some listener questions including an Earley preview of next season, a recap for our Houston friends, and a what could h...

Tulsa's 2020 bid to become the outright American Athletic Conference Champion was spoiled by Sunday's beatdown at the hands of Wichita State. The fact that the Hurricane still tied for 1st place and a share of the conference title, however, should not be overshadowed by that last game. We discuss Tulsa's disappointing showing at Wichita State, give our thoughts on Frank Haith, and predict the conf...

Tulsa took care of business in their last two home games of the season notching wins against both Tulane (on Mardi Gras) and UCF thanks in large part to Lawson Korita's career week. After tying his three-point career high against the Green Wave, he set a career high with 20 points on his Senior Day. Pat and Matt break down his and the rest of Tulsa's performance and look ahead at the last week of...

Tulsa star Trevis Gipson joins the Hurricast to talk about his time at TU, the Senior Bowl, the upcoming NFL Combine and Draft, and his relationship with his brother. We really appreciated catching up with him during his busy schedule, and we hope you all enjoy it too. You can follow Trevis on twitter and instagram @trevisgipson, and you can follow along with both him and his brother on Twitter @G...

After going 0-2 two weeks ago, Tulsa basketball got back on track and won two straight over ECU and USF to stake their claim again as one of 4 legitimate contenders for the AAC title. We recap last week's wins over ECU and South Florida, preview this week's monster matchups at Houston and at home vs SMU, lament Hawaii football's coaching additions, and debate the meaning of the number 4 in the uni...

To add on to the tragedy of last week's lost episode, Matt and Ryan recap the back-to-back losses at the hands of UConn and UCF – which saw Tulsa's three point defense regress in a big way. Then we take a look at the suddenly more important ECU and USF matchups for this week, and discuss how the recent "slump" affects Tulsa's NCAA bid chances.

What a week it was in the land of Tulsa basketball. I'm still in slight disbelief while typing this, but Tulsa beat #20 Memphis by 40 POINTS on Wednesday, 80-40. Literally doubled them up. They then followed that by beating everyone's favorite team to hate (UConn) on the road in overtime. We get to recap one of the most fun weeks for Tulsa basketball in recent memory, and we get you ready for our...

Due to our win over Houston on the 11th, Tulsa is currently in sole possession of first place in the AAC. We're also currently at #95 in KenPom, the highest we've been all year. With a 2-0 week on the road behind us and a huge week ahead, there is plenty to be excited about in the world of TU basketball. In this episode, we: Recap the road wins at ECU and Tulane Hear Pat's latest Faith in Haith up...

This week Matt and Pat cover the split week that the basketball team experienced. At the heart of both the lopsided loss to Cincinnati and the thrilling victory over Houston were important storylines about three pointers. Plus Ryan sat down and talked with the Sports Objective Podcast about the matchup with ECU on Wednesday night.

After a nice break for Christmas and the New Year, we're back with our first episode of 2020! Matt and Ryan sit down to recap the crazy previous three games against Colorado State, Kansas State, and Temple, and we also get you ready for a big week this week against Cincinnati and Houston. Additionally, we talk some big news in football recruiting, take a look around the conference in football and...

It's our first basketball-centric episode of the season! We cover something good (Boise State win), something bad (Arkansas loss), and realize something ugly (this doesn't look like a tournament-bound team). We preview the BOK Invitational, take a look around the conference, and wrap up the episode with a look at volleyball's awesome season.

Philip Montgomery will officially still be Tulsa's head football coach when TU opens the 2020 season against Toledo on September 5th. In this, the last joint football/basketball episode of the year, we had a lot to talk about: On the football side of things, we discuss the fallout around retaining Monty, debate Chad Morris vs Brennan Marion for Offensive Coordinator, recognize Tulsa's AAC first an...

It was an ugly week. Tulsa basketball went 1-0 in an ugly one vs Southeastern Louisiana, but football couldn't do the same in an ugly game against Houston on Senior night. In the opener, Ryan said he was going to break down some stats on the football seniors who just played their last home game, but that ended up being a long monologue that would be better in blog form - so keep an eye out for a b...

Still riding the high of the win over UCF, Matt and Ryan sit down to recap a bit of basketball and to get you ready for Tulsa's final home game of the year. The Houston Cougars come to H. A. Chapman Stadium on Saturday night for Tulsa's senior night game in what we have dubbed the 'Crude Control' rivalry. The Coogs are 3-7 as well and have had a bizarre season. To help us break it down, we bring i...

Tulsa pulled off the upset of the season last Friday with a huge win over UCF after Seth Boomer took over for an injured Zach Smith in the second half. We break down the best win of the season, look sadly at the disappointing first week of the basketball season, and finish with an interview with author and ECU grad Ron Clements about his recent trip to Tulsa, AAC football, and a couple of his book...

The first half of our extra long episode. This half features the recap of the Tulane game (including the infamous punt), our preview of our upcoming matchup with UCF, and results from around the conference. This is a sad episode because for the third season in a row Tulsa will not be bowling. See part two for our basketball preview.

The second half of our extra long episode is all about basketball! Ryan previews all the new pieces on Tulsa's roster, we breakdown what our expectations for this season, and try to pick some potential upsets that Tulsa could pull off this season. For the football section see 2-13:Part One.
